It always blows my mind to see people put so much money into the engine and other parts of their car, and cheap out on the tires. Tires should always be the first purchase... They won't just help you with performance, they'll also help make sure your car stays on the road.

[@chazzcoolidge2654]

its sound advice, why cheap out on the one thing that is in constant contact with the road? same with brakes.

[@BerserkFury89]

@@chazzcoolidge2654 I think most people just think "I've got serviceable tires, so it's good enough", failing to realize how big of a difference good tires make from good enough tires. They also see them as a "consumable" item, so they don't want to spend more on something that they will have to pay for again in the future. None of that logic makes sense when you consider how much tires do, but that's what goes through people's heads.

This was obviously someone that was going to takeover events and burning through tires. Why else would have have nice tires up front and cheap ones in the rear

[@jasonchristopher2977]

Maybe a silly question but what about the gas? We have a smaller business as like urr and we drain, take out fuse for fuel pump, hook up a hose on fuel rail and pump and filter it into cans and use for r work autos, and a few customers will buy. I mean gas here is almost $4 gal. So used gas is better than that. Usually if cars are driven and wrecked tge gas is not stale, bad etc. We always use a bottle of dry gas etc. Here we can't take in any scrap cars with gas in tank, battery, etc. No fluids. Dry.

I had no clue the newer camaros still didn't have an access to the fule pump. It's been a running gag since the 3rd Gen that it's a crap shoot if someone cut the rear tray to swap the pump until you pull the carpet. I am honestly really disappointed gm is still overlooking such a common feature you'll see on almost every other make of vehicle these days.

[@johnpoteat9774]

I've had a couple of third gens and the carbureted ones still had mechanical fuel pumps on the front of the engine. (at least in 84 and 86 models)

[@ls1_cammeroh]

I didn’t know this either. My 4th gen has the hole cut for it. I’m going to look up a fuel pump swap on a 6th gen now.

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

Costs more money... They don't care about convenience or ease for repair, even for dealer techs. That whole "They design it so they make more to have to bring it in" is hog wash. Dealers aren't manufactured owned anyway. They just roll the dice and hope there is no recall or TSB that would cost more than if they had. When you are talking millions, a couple cents adds up, "Then charge a dollar more to the customer", They do, but they also want to save that dollar and make it 2 in their pocket!

[@jkalash762]

@@johnpoteat9774 correct, even in those years you still had to deal with the sending unit though and they've been a common failure item since the 70s on GM cars. Luckily most people didn't cut the tray for just the gauge not working and preferred to just leave it non functional. My dad's 72 Pontiac Catalina he left me had the sending unit die with less than 25k miles on it after it left the dealer.. It's now at 72k and still non functional and has left me on the side of the road at least a half dozen times with it's 11mpg highway and 7 city. The special option 400 it has was only put in 1% of the production of Catalina and it's basically a ram air iv restricted and tuned for a better torque curve with a different intake, carb, and exhaust manifolds. It's a stout engine but it gets old not having a gas gauge with how it chugs fuel. 🤣 Still not annoying enough to go through dropping the damn boat anchor of a gas tank though.

[@jkalash762]

@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 there really isn't any cost difference involved here. When you are buying steel by the ton at the quantities GM is and paying for tooling to produce millions of cars the cost to add that feature to the press dies and the extra 10x10" or so of metal is so tiny you're talking fractions of fractions of a cent. There are plenty of reasons companies do things like this and in many cases it's due to compromising rigidity of the panel or the possibility of it starting to allow water and fumes to ingress as the seam sealer ages or from repairs where it wasn't resealed at the end.

Man that engine sounds nasty. That thing could be an absolute beast if given a second life and it looks good. Why not leave the injectors in the manifold as well? The Camaro is a great platform. It’s proven itself on the track time and time again and a car that be modified for less than most others. An actual NASCAR Camaro shocked the world and won the 24 hours of Le Mans against cars that were much more expensive.

[@jostrander71]

What Camaro won Le Man's? If you are referring to the recent run of a modified Camaro it didn't win. It did race yes.

[@P-J-W-777]

@@jostrander71 well it’s been shown on many sites and many other reports have stated it won its series at 24 hours. I never said it wasn’t modified as a matter of fact I said it was a NASCAR Camaro which suggests modified. Either way the Camaro platform is simply cheaper to modify than just about any other V8 sports car on the street. If GM had gotten of their asses they would have built a car that would have sold much better than it did but they didn’t want it competing against their precious Corvette. However due to it being considered an experimental car it wasn’t allowed to win even though it had lapped a few other cars that were specifically designed to rave that event and were much more expensive.

[@jostrander71]

@P-J-W-777 It was a fun experience for Hendick Motorsport. The car was in a class almost by itself. The car was modified because you need headlights and taillights driving around the 24 hour race. If they really wanted a show off they should have raced a bone stock ZL1. That would have been more interesting.

[@jostrander71]

@P-J-W-777 BTW that car was not cheap and anything can be built to go fast. Even Tesla 4 door Plaids with modified suspension can corner. Not as good as a Mercedes AMG Roadster but good enough to suprise people. The Garage 57 Camaro finished 39th overall.

[@P-J-W-777]

@@jostrander71 I’m fully aware that the NASCAR Camaro was not cheap. But it was near as expensive as the Hyper/GT CARS and wasn’t expected to be able to even be competitive against them as they are specially designed and built for that race. While you are correct in that it finished 39th overall it would have finished much higher potentially even 1st had it not been for a transmission failure. I read a bit more into it and found that what people were reporting was actually its win during practice trial runs. (Seems you can’t believe everything you read online these days. Even from multiple sources! lol.) Of course anything can be made to go fast. Again I never said that wasn’t the case. Dollar for dollar the Camaro has been shown and proven to be the least expensive and easiest platform to modify/improve with its LS engines and already track focused chassis design. A stock Camaro beat the track of a ton of cars on the Nuremberg track. Cars they said it shouldn’t have Ben able to beat that were much more expensive. Such as Ferraris, Porsche and Lamborghinis. Cars that were 130,000 dollar plus. Just imagine what the Camaro would have been like if they had the GT350 and GT500 version like Ford was very very smart and did with the Mustang. Hennessy had a performance version (Exorcist) on pump gas you could buy from them that had a 0-60 @ 2.1 seconds with a 1/4mile time of 9.57 and a top speed of 217mph and an even fast version the (Resurrection) on race gas. People build them up street legal all the time pushing over 1000hp easily. EV’s are only good for a few things. Quick 0-60 times, leaving you the stranded on the side of the road because it’s dead, catching fire and running into anything that’s it’s cameras don’t see. My whole point was crapping on GM and their management and design team. Had they taken the Camaro further offered more performance options like Ford and Dodge did with their cars as well as improving the design their sales would have been much much better. They just weren’t as exciting as the other options. The C7 ZR1 is a masterpiece of design and the C7 Z06 is awesome. They could have given the Camaro the same attention and it would have been successful and made them more money as there would have been more produced and sold when compared to their corvettes. They are even holding back when it comes to horsepower on the corvettes so all they have to do each year is offer a little more with nothing more than a software update. I used to be a huge and loyal GM fan however they’ve lost my respect due to their lack of competitiveness and design choices.

The amount of space he has is awesome! I wish I owned a salvage yard lol

I would really like to see a Nissan Juke. It's a great car. No joke. It is.

[@nerdonthebike9713]

There is so much stuff I’d buy off that car. I have a 2012 Camaro LS V6

13:29 "we've handled a lot of shafts" he didn't even realize it when he said it lol

[@codyball4178]

It would be cool to see some trucks on a salvage story. Like diesels or like a raptor or Trx.

I hope that leakdown test wasn't performed on a cold 2618 piston. About the driveshaft it could have been pulled for towing then just stuck back in place. I rebuild wrecks and I see that a lot, most tow guys just partially put them back in place. Even a manual on a rollback and that shifter was a little damaged.

[@takay_the_loko]

Yeah , the ds was installed properly when i had it done

Just watched the viper 240, now this… you earned yourself a sub. Sweet content

I’m looking for good front seats for my 2002 Camaro SS. What fits that’s newer and comfortable? Charcoal grey

[@devinl.reynolds151]

Being from Massachusetts I absolutely lost it when you said the cars suspension was rusted out up here that would be considered pristine

[@johnhairris7624]

What about a Acura tl like a 2006???

[@MrEspinoza97]

What wheels are those on minute 12:37 next to the lift i think there for your zr1

Thanks for these breakdowns and transparency. Ive always wsnted to open a business like this with my dad.

[@johnjones4096]

That engine is built. No doubt about it. Soon as I heard it run.

[@frankfritchman5273]

LETS SEE A TRUCK! TRX TIME!

[@Billysbreakdowns]

Do a Supra (current or previous gen), or an Evo was a great choice.. a current Skyline.. A Civic TypeR I could see do well, as well as ANY hot hatch (Focus RS, Golf R) TONS of ppl using VW TDIs for swaps these days I'm sure you could find cheap.. Or if you REALLY want a challenge do any popular AMG G55 or E63 AMG!

[@scottmartel9515]

I am so late to the conversation but I have to agree with Daddymack001 a Ford Raptor would be cool considering just seats bring about 3k and the 6.2L with 30 to 50 K miles brings on average 6 to 7K in the Salvage market and considering Ford uses the same cab structure again for the 150 through F5 50. It really opens up the market for a lot of other body parts. Even though they use different engines and they use different interiors and they use different beds along with many other pieces the used parts market for F series Trucks is enormous good luck and look forward to the next one.

[@christopherviana1195]

Never seen a resto mod bimmer, a new one could have some retail value

[@ghoultty25]

Haven’t watched the full video but you should keep the engine and do an insane swap

I miss Copart before online auctions. When guy drove his school bus down the isles with the auctioneer standing on top, selling 2 rows at a time. Fast paced and had to pay attention. But, you got better prices, and if you knew the auctioneer, you could get stuff real cheap. Lol Not any more :(

Try scrapping a Peterbilt or Kenworth for major profits. Commercial truck parts are high demand 😎

[@motox947]

love to see you scrap a BRZ/GR86 it's a pretty popular track car so maybe parts are in demand.

[@kcmullins6179]

Thats crazy lol , i have the exact same car , same engine identical. Except mine is maroon instead of bumble bee lol. SS. Car is really really really quick. Its faster than my dads Demon. Which im actually in the process of buying from him.

[@jahliljohnson9699]

Literally the best looking year model

[@momdad8771]

I’ve driven a tow motor for 25 years. Never have I seen anyone lift a car with a small tow motor like that…damn dangerous..
